What Is This Tool?
This tool converts density values from ounce per gallon (US), a unit expressing mass per US liquid gallon volume, into the SI-based kilogram per cubic meter unit. It helps users translate measurements commonly used in the US into a standard scientific unit used globally.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the density value in ounce per gallon (US) units
-
Select ounce/gallon (US) as the input unit
-
Choose kilogram/cubic meter as the output unit
-
Click convert to get the equivalent density in kg/m³
-
Use the result for calculations or reporting
Key Features
-
Converts density from ounce/gallon (US) to kilogram/cubic meter
-
Provides quick, browser-based unit conversion
-
Supports density measurements for fluids, chemicals, and materials
-
Based on accurate conversion rate using standard US liquid gallon
-
Helpful for scientific, engineering, and industrial applications
Examples
-
2 ounce/gallon (US) converts to approximately 14.9783 kilogram/cubic meter
-
0.5 ounce/gallon (US) converts to approximately 3.7446 kilogram/cubic meter
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying dosing or concentrate strength for chemicals and cleaning solutions
-
Describing additive or treatment rates in fuels, lubricants, and industrial fluids

Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure you use the US liquid gallon definition when entering values
-
Confirm the mass is measured in avoirdupois ounces for accuracy
-
Apply the conversion at standard temperature and pressure
-
Double-check unit selections to avoid errors
-
Use SI units in scientific and engineering contexts for consistency
Limitations
-
Ounce/gallon (US) is a non-SI unit primarily used in the United States
-
Conversion accuracy depends on the exact definition of US liquid gallon and ounce
-
Density may vary with temperature and pressure, which this converter does not adjust for
-
Improper use can lead to confusion or conversion mistakes
Frequently Asked Questions
